well you have to turn your lights over to 12/12 before they are gonna show sex...unless you have a strain that auto flowers and show pistols early.

Another way Ive heard of sexing a plant is to cover one branch with a paper bag(preferably black on outside) for 12 hrs a day.And only that branch will show sex after a couple weeks.it doesnt disrupt the rest of the plant.then when you see its female.flower it.Male toss it!

Basically, this forum has a REPutation system where you can give others REP... it's just a way of giving props to another user for a post they have made.
If you look by the post # to the right of each individual post you can see a symbol... when you click on it, you are brought to another page where you can give a person some REP. Always be sure to leave your name in the REP message or the other person will not know who it is from.
Peace.

you only need one clone off a plant to sex it! if you see the little white hairs starting to grow then you know you got a baby girl! if theres little balls then you got a male! even if you got a female you dont want to just cut a bunch of branches to clone you might stress the plant if not your clones will be bigger then your main plant cuz you done cut it all to all! cut maybe 2 clones off! if you want more bud i would top the branches so they will grow 2 more branches instead of one then you can harvest more bud cuz you go more branches to flower! the plants sould start showing sex about 2 weeks after you cut your lights to 12 - 12

One of the 1st rules of thumb with growing is PATIENCE
These plants require alot of it,trust me.the whole way through.depending on the strain,manipulating the plant can make it turn male or female,or both!!they are very hearty and resiliant,but if you mess with them too much,too soon, they may react in a bad way.remember that! To take clones from a plant with unknown sex is foolish and could be a waste of time.If the clones even survive.I would take one clone put it into 12/12 light and keep watching for sex.or try the covering one branch for 12 hrs a day like i stated earlier,then you dont have to wait to see if the clone you take is even gonna live.If you dont do everything right when cutting a clone.IT WILL DIE.then your getting no where fast.Plants will usually show pre-flowers when maturity is reached,usually around 6-8 weeks old.again,depending on strain.patience my friend patience.

if you dont got them in 12-12 then there not flowering just keep them in 18-6 if there in shock they will recover just keep an eye on them! if anything put them on 24/7 for a few days then cut back 1 hour a day till you reach back to 18-6 and make sure your not overloading them with nutes. good luck
